30 by 30 Initiative

NAPEG and the NAPEGG Education Foundation proudly support Engineers Canada’s 30 by 30 initiative, which aims to increase the representation of women within engineering to 30 percent by the year 2030. NAPEG’s champion is Elaine Gillespie, P.Eng., and she represents the Northwest Territories and Nunavut while working with others to improve the experience for women in engineering, including sharing and applying best practices, collecting metrics, and considering new policies that support the increased participation and retention of women engineers.
